the only weakness is not with the scooter BUT with delivery. When it was delivered it was SIDEWALK ONLY. which meant the guy dropped it on the sidewalk. We had to pay a handyman $200.00 to bring it in and put all the parts together. that was a BAD day.

customer service, placing order, cross evaluation with other scooters was great. Shipping was sooner than expected. an enjoyable purchase experience. staff knowledgable and helpful. the assembly of the scooter was easy, and uncrating was easy. overall very happy with purchase and company.

Weaknesses:

one size does not fit all. there is some adaptability to seat placement. The height of the seat is higher than our previous Invacare model. a lower height would be better. Leg room between the post and the seat is tight for my wife. we have a towne & country van with an inside lift and the side to side scooter dimension is a snug fit. so, total length of scooter could be an issue for some folk.

The Atlas has good power, and maneuverability in a streamlined design.

Weaknesses:

The attachment of the cover over the motor and batteries is very flimsy: a couple of velcro strips. The brakes allow the scooter to drift forward more than I would like when stopping. You don't stop on a dime. You continue to move forward about a half a foot. The headlight is very low light. It needs more power to be effective.

A little more expensive, but American made and well worth it.

User Details:

74 year old male with several surgeries of left knee and lumbar spinal stenosis.

Strengths:

Turns on a dime, even though it has a longer platform than the many others I tested. The longer, wider platform allows for uncramped foot and legroom. High back seat helps with my back problem. On a recent trip to Vegas casinos, several people, including other scooter users stopped to admire and inquire about mine. All were very impressed and wanted to know where I got it. Of course I told them. I really like it's power and range, and because of short turning radius its easy to park in confined areas. I like the heavier steel construction.

Weaknesses:

I haven't been able to find any weaknesses. It's very well made using quality materials. I have a van with a lift so its no problem conveying it. Because of its weight I would think it would be difficult to carry in the trunk of a car though.
